One of my favorite ways to celebrate the Christmas season is by making homemade treats for those that I love. I would much rather bake up a basketful of goodies to give than purchase a store-bought gift. I put a lot of love into my food and that’s why I especially enjoy coming up with new recipes to share with you here.
I’ve tried candy making in the past and have failed many times over (i.e burned my finger making microwave peanut brittle and burned my mom’s stove top making homemade taffy), but this has to be the EASIEST candy recipe you will ever make. And isn’t it so pretty??? Feel free to customize the toppings to your tastes. I hope you enjoy making this Easy Christmas Bark to eat or give to family and friends. Merry Christmas!
